Versace dressed Zendaya as Joan of Arc at the 2018 Met Gala.
Zendaya wore a custom silver suit of armor created by Donatella Versace. The look referenced Joan of Arc, the French medieval heroine and Catholic saint, while presenting the historical figure through a sharply tailored, metallic fashion design.
The outfit fit the 2018 exhibition Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. That exhibition explored how Catholic imagery, symbols, and institutions have influenced fashion across different periods and designers.
Zendaya’s look is sometimes confused with other medieval or religiously inspired outfits from the same gala. Her armor-like silver dress was specifically associated with Joan of Arc and was designed by Versace, not Alexander McQueen or another fashion house.
